SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 692,383, dated February4, 1902. Application filed May 17, 1901. Serial No. 60,684- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, PETER TARZIAN and MEGURDICH TARZIAN, citizens ofthe United States, residing in Paterson, in the county of Passaic andState of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Bicycles; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full clear,and exact description of the invention, such as will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters ofreference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to bicycles; and its object is to provide thehead portion of a bicycle with a casing adapted to inclose the lamp andbell and provided with a supplemental sounding device in the form of areed instrument, the bell and said supplemental sounding device beingprovided with operating means arranged in a convenient and novel manner.

The invention is fully illustrated in the accompanying drawings,wherein- Figure 1 is a view showing our invention in position on abicycle; andFig. 2 is an enlarged View of the invention, the same beingpartly in section and partly in elevation.

On the head Ct of the machine is clamped a bell or gong b and a lamp 0,the latter preferably above the former. Below the bell or gong isadjustably secured, by means of a setscrew d,which it carries, a supportor base 6, which is substantially of the form of a disk. On this base orsupport is secured the casing f, which is shown in the drawings asrepresenting the head of a goat. This may be constructed of papier-machor other suitable light and durable material, which may be ornamented inany desired manner. In order to render the lamp and bell accessible, theeasingf is made in two sections, being divided vertically,said sectionsbeing hinged together, as at g, and having a latch h at the top forsecuring them normally together.

2' designates the handle-bars. These are shown in the drawings asrepresenting horns for the goat-head and penetrate openings j in the topof the casing f, being adjustably secured to the head 0; of the bicycleby means of bolts k.

The openings Zof the casing f, representin g nostril-openings, serve asair-ducts for the lamp 0, while openings at in the top of the headpermit the escape of the smoke and other products of combustion from thelamp, the orifices n in the casing f, representing eyeopenings for thegoat-head, being adapted to permit the light from the lamp 0 to escape,said lamp being situated directly back of them.

For the purpose of sounding the bell or gong 6 its actuating-lever 0 mayhave connected to it a cord or wire 10, which passes up through one ofthe horns and out the free end thereof, being there provided with atassel or other form of pull g.

If desired, the contrivance may be provided with an additional alarm orsounding device in the nature of a horn, the same consisting of a reedr, secured over an opening sin the casing by a ring t, the said openinghaving a nipple a, receiving an elastic bulb n, which may be shaped andornamented to represent the beard of a goat.

Having thus fully described our invention, what we claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination, with the head portion of a bicycle, of a disk mountedon said head portion, handle-bars carried by said head portion, and ahollow casing arranged on said disk and inclosing said'head portion andthe parts of said handle-bars which form a joint therewith, said casingbeing divided substantially vertically thereof to form separablesections, and one of said sections being hinged to the other and havingits line of hinge horizontally disposed, substantially as described.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing we have hereunto set our handsthis 11th day of May, 1901.

PETER TARZIAN. MEGURDIOH TARZIAN.
